About Us

Welcome!

Ink & Starstuff is a woman-owned stationery company based in Portland, Oregon. Every item in the shop leans toward the whimsical, cozy, and dream-like, with each collection curated to inspire creativity. Most of our stationery items are imported from Japan and Korea, while our canvas pencil cases, journal covers, and limited edition prints are handmade by owner-operator, Shana Targosz.

About Shana

Hello! I'm Shana Targosz, writer and dreamer. I'm an author of fantasy books, a linocut artist, and designer of Ghibli-esque solo RPG games which focus on exploration, magic, and nature.

I created Ink & Starstuff to inspire others to fall in love with stationery from around the world. Stationery has been a big part of my own creative journey and I always have various notebooks and pens within reach. I fell in love with Japanese and Korean stationery during my travels. I now use these special items daily to collect ideas and expand my own creative pursuits. The act of writing in a journal or doodling in a special notebook is a simple and effective way to collect memories and practice mindfulness. Having these physical artifacts documenting my mind-wanderings over the years brings so much joy.

Here at Ink & Starstuff we ask: Where will your imagination take you?

Our goal is for these journals, washi tapes, and other ephemera to spark creativity within you.

What is Ink & Starstuff?

Ink, for the things we commit to paper—hand-written words that build the stories we create, and sketches which evolve into works of art.

Starstuff, for the intangible, ever-shifting things—the magical place where ideas come from, and the origin of our wishes and dreams.

Thank you for stopping by!
